The Hysteric may be the most frightening foe in the game. This “white lady” has a very distinctive, strangulated sound that becomes chilling when you hear it—especially after she victimizes you the first time. She often stands in place, and when she does move, it’s a slow, painful looking stagger. But don’t let this fool you. The moment you fire a shot, she’ll makes a shrieking sprint, trying to drive her big knife right into your face. Her Grab attack inflicts much pain per second, so break away ASAP. Note that the Hysteric’s slow waddle makes it easy to creep behind her for a Sneak Kill, but one Sneak Kill won’t kill her!
